Following an AGCI workshop in 2012, Science for Climate Change Adaptation: Enhancing Decision Support Capability, an international group of scholars along with AGCI staff have published an article in the journal Science calling for a set of science research goals aimed at informing the societal preparations needed in response to climate change impacts.
